I suppose I'm still against prepping kids for IQ tests in general... but after watching the videos last fall about the families in NYC trying to get their kids into K, I'm much more understanding of their situation. If we were in NYC and knew we were competing against people busily prepping their kids, I would prep mine, too, in order to level the playing field.
